Lighting
This vehicle is equipped with a variety of lights to illuminate the interior and exterior of the vehicle.
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the headlight and interior light on for a prolonged time while the engine is not running.
Battery saver function
The purpose of this feature is to prevent the battery from being discharged if the lights are left in the ON position. The system automatically shuts off the parking lights after the engine is off and the driver's door is opened.
-
However, the position lamps stay ON even when the driver-side door is opened if the light switch is operated after the engine is turned off.
-
If necessary, to keep the lamps on turn the position lamps OFF and ON again using the headlamp switch on the steering column after the engine is turned off.
Headlight escort function
If you press the ENGINE START/STOP button to the ACC or OFF position with the headlights ON, the headlights remain on for about 5 minutes. However, if the driver's door is opened and closed, the headlights are turned off after 15 seconds.
The headlights can be turned off by pressing the lock button on the smart key twice or turning the light switch to the OFF position.
If the driver exits the vehicle through another door besides the driver door, the battery saver function does not operate and the headlamp delay function does not turn OFF automatically.
This may cause the battery to discharge. To avoid battery discharge, turn OFF the headlamps manually from the headlamp switch before exiting the vehicle.
Daytime Running Light (DRL)
The Daytime Running Light (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
The DRL can be helpful in many different driving conditions, and it is especially helpful after dawn and before sunset.
The DRL will turn the dedicated lamp OFF when:
-
The headlight switch is on.
-
The vehicle is off.
-
Engaging the parking brake.
